Cordilla road

I will be watching for replies as I will be up that way in mid June.

Went from Birdsville to Cadelga ruins about 3 weeks ago , was heading to Innamincka but turned back after two punctures due to very rocky surface . Tyres were in good condition and speed under 60 km/h but still managed to get two punctures . Road on QLD side of border was in good condition .

The causeway out of Innamincka is closed so no access north. Was closed the last time I looked 2 weeks ago too.

I drove Innamincka to Birdsville via Arrabury Rd, Cordillo Downs, Caldega, to Birdsville on May 9th. (as noted by others, the causeway is closed, making this an effective alternative route)

No issues but from the Qld border to Caldega it is slow & stony. Had a 3/4 loaded new Mazda dual cab at 28psi & up to 70kph - conditions would not allow more speed. I see no issues with your rig - my mate was towing a 2 tonne off road trailer & he also had no worries.

Dig Tree is a reasonable camp site if you take your own firewood in. Otherwise not many locations are camping.

Drove the Cordillo road about a week and a half ago - the Cooper was barreling at the dig tree but no sign of it south on the Birdsville Track, however locals told us it takes about 5 days to get down there ... probably beat it thru by a couple of days.

Cordillo road was OK - we went thru with a Subaru Outback in our group - just had to take it easy .... not much camping before Cordillo Stn ... a nice one about 20 ks past there on a creek, otherwise Cadelga ruins has some sites.
